We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune and Red Hat Satellite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Configuration Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the group policy management feature, which performs application monitoring and device enrollment."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"The performance of Microsoft Intune is good."
"Stable product that's easy to set up compared to other MDM products."
"The solution appears to be stable and scalable."
"One of the best features is Windows Autopilot because if you change any of your devices, whatever security policies and compliance policies that applied can be easily migrated to the new devices. Windows Autopilot gives you that flexibility."
"Previously, we were using one server to update from a different repository over the HTTP. We had to manually manage the updates on the repository server. Satellite made the process easier."
"Technical support has been good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is vulnerability management."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Satellite are its support, simplicity, and patch management."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you don't have to expose your mission-critical environment to the Internet. With the Satellite system in place, it acts as a barrier between your Red Hat infrastructure and the public Internet."
"You don't need to depend on any third party. It's a complete solution for patch and configuration management when integrated with the existing system."
"The most valuable feature is the management of the distributed tool we use in the Red Hat Linux Servers."
"It has been a stable solution...It is a totally scalable solution."
"Due to the abundance of features, there's a lot to organize, which makes managing and setting up the solution challenging. The setup is immense, and it would be good to see improvement in this area."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
"It's the granularity: 'Is your firewall on? Is BitLocker on?' It's not amazing granularity. But I've looked into other products, like Duo, and they're all similar."
"Once it's configured it is unobtrusive, but it does take some hands-on to configure and deploy it properly."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"I know that their AI pieces are at the infancy stage, but allowing users to do more tagging for information would be an interesting thing because Intune also directly integrates with Azure. Because a lot of the devices are hosted with that, you also get a lot of tagging of user data and other things like that."
"The product could have more diversity in what it is able to deploy and might do better if it was not dedicated to Red Hat products only."
"The dashboard of Satellite is not encouraging. It does not adequately showcase all the functionality it offers."
"It is difficult to update and maintain."
"It has not been significantly updated in a while."
"The solution's initial setup is a little bit tricky."
"The product's automation capabilities need enhancement."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"Satellite should be bundled with Ansible Tower and the Ansible Automation platform. We face challenges from a security perspective because we have micro-segmentation in our network. For each server we provision, we have to set permissions to different ports so that the servers can communicate with Satellite. If I have a single server with Satellite and the Ansible Automation Platform, it would be easier to manage security issues instead of having two or three products on various servers."
